Yep, I think what people aren’t getting is that if any protest group undemocratically gives itself the right to block freeways, then any protest group could claim the same rights. What if pro-life people start blocking freeways next, then pro-Israel protestors next. The level of passion about the topic does not grant automatic acceptance of the method.
I agree and would also say that society demanding harsher punishments for this kind of protesting is a pretty dang good indicator that it’s morally wrong.

I think it would just turn harsher punishments for protesting.

Would you think its okay for pro life people to do this on the freeway?
